We performed a comparison between Imperva SecureSphere Database Security and Oracle Audit Vault based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Security solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like Imperva SecureSphere platform forms. Imperva SecureSphere is the foundation for SecureSphere data, file and web application solutions."
"The discovery module provides good visibility."
"The beauty of it is that it provides segregation of duties. Typically, in the traditional environment, DBAs administer the database, and they have too much access. We are in the process of implementing other Oracle solutions, and it brings some kind of segregation. Just because someone is a DBA does not mean that he or she should have access to all of the data. Some of the data can be masked so that privacy and security are enhanced, especially when it is customer data for an institution like a bank."
"It has a very user-friendly interface that's very detailed."
"The most valuable feature is the Data Masking."
"They have very good documentation and knowledgebase resources that add to the depth of their support."
"It has a user-friendly interface. It is a stable and scalable product."
"The most valuable feature is the automatic reports on new databases, which gives us up-to-date inventory management."
"A powerful, flexible solution for database traffic monitoring."
"Oracle Audit Vault has a lot of great features, but what I find most valuable is the database firewall."
"Our clients can see all of their past actions or the wrong activity done on the network. We can load the diagnostics for the business."
"Out-of-the-box policies ensure our compliance with standards like SOX, ISO 27001, and so on."
"All of the other components that make up the infrastructure in the environment including the operating system are also quite valuable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is that it can help us secure our databases."
"The critical event alerts and reporting features have greatly reduced loss of man hours that would have been spent on going through the whole audit event logs."
"Our client was scheduled to take a year and a half to set up compliance, but by deploying this product they were able to do the compliance reports within three months."
"I'd like to see some sort of solution for storage."
"Its reporting can be improved. The reporting feature is currently not good enough for our clients."
"Imperva needs to improve their cloud capabilities."
"I would like to see improvement in the integration part of the tool. This should be an easy process."
"The firewall features are not very strong and should be improved."
"Reporting could be improved."
"I would like to see integration such that there is support for different kinds of environments, such as on-premises versus cloud."
"Imperva SecureSphere Database Security can improve something in all the versions I have used."
"Customized reporting is something that we are struggling with, and it is quite tough for us."
"The support could improve."
"I hear from many people that say IBM Guardian is better than Oracle Audit Vault when it comes to performance. IBM Guardian works transparently in the database, but Oracle Audit Vault consumes some ratios on the server."
"Currently, you need two servers: one for Audit Vault and one for the firewall. If they can combine them into one server, it will be great because it is costly to have two servers. It will also make its installation easier. I have heard that in the new version, there will be only one server for both."
"We would like to see the ability to administer and manage the solution through Enterprise Manager 13c, and development of the dashboards that are generally missing."
"They should simplify the integration and work with different vendors and mechanisms."
"This solution doesn't audit the network."
"The product monitors only the database and not the operating systems."
